the republicans have more to lose politically than the re-elected obama does. a government shutdown fight might be necessary for republican lawmakers to get the need for confrontation with obama out of their systems. like what a five year old having a tantrum. okay. for member management purposes.

>> here we are at another cliff in washington, d.c. we have more in washington, d.c., than in the grand canyon. i think the democrats and the senate will pass a bill but they're not going to get 60 votes so it can't pass a full senate. republicans will offer an alternative and that's not going to pass. if that happens, i think you're looking at the fiscal cliff coming into effect and these cuts coming into effect. >> but i guess, what different ways should the president -- should he be calling everybody into the oval office? what should he be doing differently? >> it's too late now. march the 1st it's going to go into effect. the problem in the house and the nate is there's no real center anymore. there's a very small group of centers like we used to have in the house and senate. they're not there anymore, and you can't negotiate something like this from the far left or far right. you got to start in the middle and work your way out and the president has to be seriously involved in the center. >> it's interesting, karl rove, who, tom,
